Stonebridge Crossing in Pittstown presents the perfect synthesis of a historic 18th century residence and an income-producing equestrian farm. A long drive leads to the namesake stone bridge passing over a picturesque stream and showcasing the pastoral setting of tall trees, blooming shrubs and flower borders. Surrounded by preserved farmland, an antique Colonial at the heart of the property is flanked by dual brick patios sheltered by a row of evergreens. The equestrian facilities at Stonebridge Crossing are well organized and workmanlike. Generous parking and turnaround areas are situated between the home and the main stable. There are white board fenced pastures and paddocks, five run-in sheds and a 100-by- 200-foot fenced outdoor riding ring. Two barns contain a total of 18 box stalls plus tack rooms, feed rooms, wash racks and a 70-by-140 indoor riding arena. Both barns also have haylofts. Two income-producing rentals include a charming two-bedroom carriage house set apart from the main house and a light-filled studio apartment with kitchen and bath located over a three-car garage outbuilding. These rentals have separate utilities and meters. Originally built in 1745, the handsome historic Colonial sits on a level area set above a meandering stream. It is comprised of eight rooms, three bedrooms and one-and-a-half baths. The first floor is notable for vintage features so desired by historic home buyers. Detailed millwork, uniquely-mantled fireplaces, exposed stone work, wood floors and timbered ceilings add to the charm. An updated country kitchen has cherry cabinetry, a large island and stainless steel appliances including a four-burner gas range. The kitchen opens to the keeping/family room lined in long windows and sliding glass doors overlooking the bluestone and red brick patio and expansive lawns. This heart-of-the-home space is filled with sunlight and features brick flooring. A full staircase leads to the second floor with three bedrooms and an updated hall bath. The third floor has a large finished room with a high ceiling extending to the rafters, ideal as an office or guest room. An unfinished basement accommodates the mechanicals including two zones of central air conditioning and an above ground oil tank. Also included at Stone Bridge Crossing is a swimming pool. The property, home and dependencies are nicely maintained and have served the flourishing horse business that has been in place for many years. Auxiliary farm structures include five run-in sheds, a new two-story metal equipment/workshop building which has drive-through garage doors to accommodate large vehicles, and a detached three-car garage with carriage house doors offering a studio apartment above. There are additional buildings for machine and hay storage. The appealing carriage house is set privately away from the main house. It has a porch entry, living room, full kitchen and dining area, back entry vestibule, two bedrooms and full bath. This residence and the small outbuilding behind it are notable because it is thought that they were brought to the site from a World’s Fair in the 1930s. Located in the desirable Pittstown section of Alexandria Township in Hunterdon County, the area is well-known for its prime equestrian properties, rolling farmland and country scenery. The location is also central to a network of local and interstate highways, including Route 78.
